Preparing homemade minestrone soup or spicy chicken kabobs requires a lot of chopping, dicing, slicing, and mincing. Each task necessitates a different knife that caters to the ingredients’ hardiness and texture. This eight-piece cutlery set includes practically every knife you’ll ever need including: a 7-inch hollow-ground Asian-style Santoku chopping knife, 3-1/2-inch paring knife, 3-inch serrated paring knife, 6-inch sandwich knife, 8-inch bread knife, kitchen shears, 9-inch sharpening steel, and knife block. Plus, the block has seventeen slots--so you’ll have room to store additional knives.

The blade, bolster, and tang of each knife were precision-forged from a single, high-carbon stainless-steel sheet--running visibly along the full length of the handle--for increased hygiene, balance, and permanence. Craftsmen at Wusthof hone the blades by hand before employing computer-controlled tapering and polishing techniques. In addition, laser testing is used to guarantee consistency, lifelong sharpness, and efficiency. The result is blades that resist rusting, staining, and pitting while maintaining their sharpness. Triple-riveted, Hostaform-C synthetic handles secure the blades for safety and better resilience.

Although the knives are dishwasher- safe, washing by hand is highly-recommended for best results. Made in Germany, the set measures 15.7 by 10.6 by 4.9 inches, weighs eight pounds, and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Jessica Reuling
